A Little Piece of Hollywood North

Yesterday was my daughter Ava's 7th Birthday. We had planned on a girls day and she requested going to the Ripley's Aquarium of Canada.

We woke up, ate breakfast and off we went. And kept going. The line? Was all the way down the street and around the corner. Some people had been waiting over an hour. It was hot, the girls were hungry and no one wanted to wait.

We kept walking and decided we would go for lunch and have a mini shopping spree for Av's day.

We walked and walked and finally happened upon some filming. Of course we had to stop. At first I thought it was my favourite tv show that I've been obsessed with lately, Suits. I didn't see anyone I recognized though but I got out my phone anyways to see what I could get.

Hmmm, that guy looks familiar. Of course! It's Peter Gallagher (of "the OC" fame) so awesome! I tweeted asking if anyone knew what was filming in Toronto with Peter Gallagher. I was too impatient so searched and found it was the tv show Covert Affairs. I haven't ever seen it, so I had no idea what it was.

I know lots of filming happens in Toronto it's even been dubbed "Hollywood North" Toronto. I however never see it, ever. So we stopped for a few minutes, I took out my camera for some photos while we watched them film a scene.

 Pretty cool if you ask me!

I was checking out what all is filming in Toronto right now and not only is my favourite Suits filming but so is an Adam Sandler movie called Pixels, Rookie Blue (a Canadian hit we love!), Degrassi, Property Brothers and more! I thought was pretty cool. I often see photos of Suits filming on social media so Jordan has asked if I could take him on a lunch date downtown in the areas and see if we can catch a glimpse next week. Harvey Specter? Mike Ross? Who am I to say no?

Have you ever stumbled upon a famous person while out and about? What about a filming? Talk about fun!
